Hard drive swap, links

Sorry for going quiet for a few days. My laptop has a new harddrive and I can’t migrate my time machine backup over until my sister mails me the OS X install CD. I might be out for a few more days, so here are some links to keep you (and me) busy:

Wii Friend Codes From Twitter - I have been playing a lot of Mario Kart lately, and anything that makes swapping friend codes easier is a good idea. Bonus points for using twitter.

Postwar, by Tony Judt - A book, not a link, but required reading for anyone interested in modern politics. He recaps European history from 1945 to present.  For anyone interested in globalization, this is when it all fell into place.

Oreo cookies in China are different. This should be no shock really, but Oreo wafers just seem sacrilegious to me. They seem to work however, as Oreo is now the top selling biscuit in China.
